A sauna used to be something you booked at a spa or a gym. More and more homeowners across Wiltshire and Bath are realising it doesn’t have to be. A well-built home sauna gives you a place to switch off at the end of the day, without leaving the house, getting in the car or sharing it with anyone else.
Andromeda now designs and builds bespoke home saunas, with the same approach Phil Markides brings to every fireplace, stove and stone job: built properly, finished properly, and made to suit the house it sits in. No flat-pack kit forced into a space it doesn’t fit. A sauna planned around your home, your space and how you want to use it.
What a Bespoke Home Sauna Can Look Like
- Indoor saunas: built into a spare room, a basement, a loft or the corner of a home gym
- Garden and outbuilding saunas: a converted outbuilding or a dedicated garden structure, so the sauna becomes its own retreat
- Traditional timber interiors: tongue-and-groove timber walls and ceilings, slatted benches and the warm, natural look a sauna should have
- Benches and layout built to measure: one or two tiers, sized for one person or a family, arranged to make the most of the space
- Lighting and finishing touches: soft concealed lighting under the benches, windows and glass doors where they work, and details that make it feel finished rather than fitted
- Heater, ventilation and insulation: the parts you don’t see, done right so the sauna heats well, breathes properly and lasts
How the Work Is Done
Every sauna starts with a visit. Phil looks at the space, talks through how you want to use it and gives you an honest view of what will work, including where a different spot or size would serve you better. From there you get a clear quote before any work begins.
A sauna heater needs its own electrical supply, and that connection has to be installed and certified by a qualified electrician. Phil will explain what that involves for your property at the first visit, so there are no surprises later. The build itself is handled with the care you’d expect from a craftsman: timber fitted cleanly, joints tight, and a finish you’ll be happy to look at every time you open the door.
Because Phil’s background covers stone masonry, home improvements and bespoke projects, a sauna can also be part of a bigger piece of work: a garden building, a new patio and pathway to reach it, or a full outdoor wellness space.

How much space do I need for a home sauna?
Less than most people expect. A compact sauna for one or two people can fit into a small spare room or the corner of a larger space, and a family-sized sauna needs a little more. The best way to know is to have Phil look at the space you have in mind. He’ll tell you honestly what will fit and what will feel comfortable to use.
Can a sauna go in the garden?
Yes. A garden sauna, in an existing outbuilding or a dedicated structure, is one of the most popular options because it turns the sauna into its own retreat. It needs a sound, level base, a weatherproof building and a power supply, all of which Phil will cover when he assesses the site.
Do you handle the electrics?
The sauna heater needs a dedicated supply that must be installed and certified by a qualified electrician. Phil will explain what’s needed for your home at the first visit and make sure that part of the job is planned in from the start, so the sauna is safe and ready to use when the build is finished.
How long does it take to build a home sauna?
It depends on the size of the sauna and whether it’s going into an existing room or a new garden building. Phil will give you a realistic timescale with your quote, and he’ll keep you informed as the work goes on.
